Previous Chapter | Next Chapter | Home

1.

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

7.

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9.

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Rom 9:29

10.

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

12.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17.

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20.

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

21.

How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23.

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24.

Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

25.

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26.

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28.

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

29.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31.

And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

1.

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master`s crib; but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly! they have forsaken Jehovah, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are estranged and gone backward.

5.

Why will ye be still stricken, that ye revolt more and more? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.

7.

Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9.

Except Jehovah of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10.

Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11.

What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah: I have had enough of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

12.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

13.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,- I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.

14.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are a trouble unto me; I am weary of bearing them.

15.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17.

learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20.

but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.

21.

How is the faithful city become a harlot! she that was full of justice! righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

22.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.

23.

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24.

Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies;

25.

and I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin;

26.

and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, a faithful town.

27.

Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.

28.

But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.

29.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31.

And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

1.

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly: they have forsaken the LORD, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are estranged and gone backward.

5.

Why will ye be still stricken, that ye revolt more and more? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and festering sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.

7.

Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9.

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10.

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

12.

13.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,--I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.

14.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

21.

How is the faithful city become an harlot! she that was full of judgment! righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

22.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.

23.

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24.

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

25.

and I will turn my hand upon thee, and throughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin:

26.

and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28.

But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

29.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31.

And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

1.

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Hear, ye heavens, and give ear, thou earth! for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children; and they have rebelled against me.

3.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master`s crib; Israel doth not know, my people hath no intelligence.

4.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that corrupt themselves! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they are turned away backward.

5.

Why should ye be smitten any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in him; wounds, and weals, and open sores: they have not been dressed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.

7.

Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers eat it up in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8.

And the daughter of Zion is left, as a booth in a vineyard, as a night-lodge in a cucumber-garden, as a besieged city.

9.

Unless Jehovah of hosts had left us a very small residue, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10.

Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah!

11.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.

12.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand -- to tread my courts?

13.

Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, -- new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations -- wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.

14.

Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing them.

15.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; -- cease to do evil,

17.

learn to do well: seek judgment, gladden the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18.

Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19.

If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;

20.

but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

21.

How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers.

22.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is mixed with water:

23.

thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them.

24.

Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.

25.

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;

26.

and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city.

27.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and they that return of her with righteousness.

28.

But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.

29.

For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths that ye have desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30.

For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31.

And the strong shall be for tow, and his work a spark; and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench them.

1.

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Hear, heavens, And listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.

3.

The ox knows his owner, And the donkey his master's crib; But Israel doesn't know, My people don't consider.

4.

Ah sinful nation, A people laden with iniquity, A seed of evil-doers, Children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

5.

Why should you be beaten more, That you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint.

6.

From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: Wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven`t been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.

7.

Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence, And it is desolate, As overthrown by strangers.

8.

The daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.

9.

Unless Yahweh of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, We would have been as Sodom; We would have been like Gomorrah.

10.

Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom. Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.

11.

What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?, says Yahweh. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, And the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs, Or of male goats.

12.

When you come to appear before me, Who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

13.

Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies.

14.

My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts; they are a trouble to me; I am weary of bearing them.

15.

When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;

17.

learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18.

Come now, and let us reason together, says Yahweh: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19.

If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:

20.

but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.

21.

How is the faithful city become a prostitute! she who was full of justice! righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

22.

Your silver is become dross, your wine mixed with water.

23.

Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards: they don't judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

24.

Therefore says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies;

25.

and I will turn my hand on you, and thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin;

26.

and I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning: afterward you shall be called The city of righteousness, a faithful town.

27.

Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.

28.

But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.

29.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.

30.

For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.

31.

The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.

1.

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.

5.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6.

From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

7.

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9.

Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom; we should have been like Gomorrah.

10.

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

12.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear them.

15.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16.

Wash ye, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;

17.

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19.

If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20.

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

21.

How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23.

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them.

24.

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:

25.

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26.

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28.

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

29.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31.

And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

1.

The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.

3.

Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.

4.

O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.

5.

Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.

6.

The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.

7.

Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.

8.

And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.

9.

If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.

10.

Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.

11.

What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

12.

At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?

13.

Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.

14.

Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.

15.

And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.

16.

Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;

17.

Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.

18.

Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?

19.

If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;

20.

But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.

21.

The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.

22.

Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.

23.

Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.

24.

For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;

25.

And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;

26.

And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.

27.

Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.

28.

But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.

29.

For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.

30.

For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.

31.

And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.

1.

The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they -- they transgressed against Me.

3.

An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.

4.

Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy with iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons -- corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.

5.

Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostacy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart is sick.

6.

From the sole of the foot -- unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.

7.

Your land is a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!

8.

And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers -- as a city besieged.

9.

Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly -- as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!

10.

Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,

11.

`Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated with burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.

12.

When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?

13.

Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense -- an abomination it is to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity -- and a restraint!

14.

Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.

15.

And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

16.

Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.

17.

Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive for the widow.

18.

Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!

19.

If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,

20.

And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, By the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

21.

How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it with judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it -- now murderers.

22.

Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.

23.

Thy princes are apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.

24.

Therefore -- the affirmation of the Lord -- Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,

25.

And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,

26.

And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A city of righteousness -- a faithful city.`

27.

Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.

28.

And the destruction of transgressors and sinners is together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.

29.

For men are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.

30.

For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.

31.

And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!

1.

The vision of Isaias the son of Amos I which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda

2.

Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have despised me.

3.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath not understood.

4.

Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone away backwards.

5.

For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad.

6.

From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented with oil.

7.

Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by enemies.

8.

And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste.

9.

Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha.

10.

Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha.

11.

To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats.

12.

When you came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should walk in my courts?

13.

Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination tome. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.

14.

My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing them.

15.

And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood.

16.

Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,

17.

Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.

18.

And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.

19.

if you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.

20.

But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

21.

How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.

22.

Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.

23.

Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow's cometh not in to them.

24.

Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.

25.

And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I will take away all thy tin.

26.

And I will restore thy judges se they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.

27.

Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.

28.

And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed.

29.

For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.

30.

When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without water.

31.

And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it.

1.

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

7.

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9.

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Rom 9:29

10.

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

12.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13.

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17.

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20.

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

21.

How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22.

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23.

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24.

Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

25.

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26.

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28.

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

29.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31.

And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

1.

visio Isaiae filii Amos quam vidit super Iudam et Hierusalem in diebus Oziae Ioatham Ahaz Ezechiae regum Iuda

2.

audite caeli et auribus percipe terra quoniam Dominus locutus est filios enutrivi et exaltavi ipsi autem spreverunt me

3.

cognovit bos possessorem suum et asinus praesepe domini sui Israhel non cognovit populus meus non intellexit

4.

vae genti peccatrici populo gravi iniquitate semini nequam filiis sceleratis dereliquerunt Dominum blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israhel abalienati sunt retrorsum

5.

super quo percutiam vos ultra addentes praevaricationem omne caput languidum et omne cor maerens

6.

a planta pedis usque ad verticem non est in eo sanitas vulnus et livor et plaga tumens non est circumligata nec curata medicamine neque fota oleo

7.

terra vestra deserta civitates vestrae succensae igni regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili

8.

et derelinquetur filia Sion ut umbraculum in vinea et sicut tugurium in cucumerario sicut civitas quae vastatur

9.

nisi Dominus exercituum reliquisset nobis semen quasi Sodoma fuissemus et quasi Gomorra similes essemus

10.

audite verbum Domini principes Sodomorum percipite auribus legem Dei nostri populus Gomorrae

11.

quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum dicit Dominus plenus sum holocausta arietum et adipem pinguium et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum nolui

12.

cum veneritis ante conspectum meum quis quaesivit haec de manibus vestris ut ambularetis in atriis meis

13.

ne adferatis ultra sacrificium frustra incensum abominatio est mihi neomeniam et sabbatum et festivitates alias non feram iniqui sunt coetus vestri

14.

kalendas vestras et sollemnitates vestras odivit anima mea facta sunt mihi molesta laboravi sustinens

15.

et cum extenderitis manus vestras avertam oculos meos a vobis et cum multiplicaveritis orationem non audiam manus vestrae sanguine plenae sunt

16.

lavamini mundi estote auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum ab oculis meis quiescite agere perverse

17.

discite benefacere quaerite iudicium subvenite oppresso iudicate pupillo defendite viduam

18.

et venite et arguite me dicit Dominus si fuerint peccata vestra ut coccinum quasi nix dealbabuntur et si fuerint rubra quasi vermiculus velut lana erunt

19.

si volueritis et audieritis bona terrae comedetis

20.

quod si nolueritis et me provocaveritis ad iracundiam gladius devorabit vos quia os Domini locutum est

21.

quomodo facta est meretrix civitas fidelis plena iudicii iustitia habitavit in ea nunc autem homicidae

22.

argentum tuum versum est in scoriam vinum tuum mixtum est aqua

23.

principes tui infideles socii furum omnes diligunt munera sequuntur retributiones pupillo non iudicant et causa viduae non ingreditur ad eos

24.

propter hoc ait Dominus exercituum Fortis Israhel heu consolabor super hostibus meis et vindicabor de inimicis meis

25.

et convertam manum meam ad te et excoquam ad purum scoriam tuam et auferam omne stagnum tuum

26.

et restituam iudices tuos ut fuerunt prius et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus post haec vocaberis civitas iusti urbs fidelis

27.

Sion in iudicio redimetur et reducent eam in iustitia

28.

et conteret scelestos et peccatores simul et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur

29.

confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis

30.

cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis et velut hortus absque aqua

31.

et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppae et opus vestrum quasi scintilla et succendetur utrumque simul et non erit qui extinguat
